Does solid hardwood increase the value of your house more than engineered hardwood?

RE: increase home value
Check with you realtor or appraiser. I’ve heard that they no longer count flooring toward the actual value of your house. Seems unfair to me, but it’s what my appraiser told me.

RE: increase home value
If that’s the case you should choose what works best in your area and for your budget.

RE: increase home value
It depends. There are some high end engineered floors that look great and will increase the valu as much as the solid, but generally the solid is just the longer lasting floor since you can refinish it.
